I built the desktop app that detects and redacts personal data (or PII) locally without sending any text to server. It supports rule-based filtering and AI model-based redaction (eg openai privacy filter). It's open source and free. Please check out the repo and https://pii-gui.vercel.app/

Hi HN, I’m the founder of Pangea. We’ve built a developer platform where you can easily add security to your code through a simple set of APIs - features like authentication, secrets management, audit logging, redaction of PII, restricting embargoed countries, known threat actor intelligence, etc. With the ChatGPT and LLM explosion, we thought of ways to reduce the risk of both the inputs and outputs from these services. Our NextJS sample app adds a security layer on top of ChatGPT with various security services that you can implement quickly. It’s basically a front end to the OpenAI API…

Hi HN, I’m one of the maintainers of Bridge Anonymization. We built this because the existing solutions for translating sensitive user content are insufficient for many of our privacy-concious clients (Governments, Banks, Healthcare, etc.). We couldn't send PII to third-party APIs, but standard redaction destroyed the translation quality. If you scrub "John" to "[PERSON]", the translation engine loses gender context (often defaulting to masculine), which breaks grammatical agreement in languages like French or German. So we built a reversible, local-first pipeline for Node.js/Bun. Here…

OP here. I built this because I recently caught myself almost pasting a block of logs containing AWS keys into Claude. The Problem: I need the reasoning capabilities of cloud models (GPT/Claude/Gemini), but I can't trust myself not to accidentally leak PII or secrets. The Solution: A Chrome extension that acts as a local middleware. It intercepts the prompt and runs a local BERT model (via a Python FastAPI backend) to scrub names, emails, and keys before the request leaves the browser. A few notes up front (to set expectations clearly): Everything runs 100% locally. Regex detection…

What PII-Shield does: It's a K8s sidecar (or CLI tool) that pipes application logs, detects secrets using Shannon entropy (catching unknown keys like "sk-live-..." without predefined patterns), and redacts them deterministically using HMAC. Why deterministic? So that "pass123" always hashes to the same "[HIDDEN:a1b2c]", allowing QA/Devs to correlate errors without seeing the raw data. Key features: 1. JSON Integrity: It parses JSON, sanitizes values, and rebuilds it. It guarantees valid JSON output for your SIEM (ELK/Datadog). 2. Entropy Detection: Uses context-aware entropy…

API Radar▲77We built API Radar to track exposed API keys from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other major providers—in real time—from public GitHub repositories. Why? Leaked AI keys are everywhere. They power bots, cost companies thousands, and even expose user data. But no one had a clean dashboard to see the leaks as they happen — until now. What you’ll find: Full redacted + raw API key leaks Real-time feed of exposed repos Leaderboards by author, repo, and provider Filtering by provider (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.) Timeline of key exposure trends Built for security researchers, devs, and AI companies…

Sharing screen is really scary today with all PIIs and secrets sprawling around your screen, so I built [name-redacted], a small Chrome extension that spots API keys, tokens, emails, and throws a blur overlay on them in real time. The goal is to make screen-sharing feel safe again without adding steps to a demo. Everything runs locally—regex + entropy heuristics compiled to WASM—and the extra CPU cost averages ~1 ms per mutation on my M1. Custom rules can be added with a JSON file for teams that have proprietary token formats. visit [url-redacted] Feedback please <3
